On the plan for an all-female superhero film, hatched on a recent Marvel Studios photo shoot with Tessa Thompson, Brie Larson, andScarlett Johansson: “We were getting to know each other, and it became this lovefest. We started feeling bolder, braver, and super inspired, and it was decided: Marvel should have all-female-cast movies! The energy came from connecting with each other, from being fearless and saying, ‘You know, we’re going to talk about what we truly feel,’ versus staring each other down like we’ve always been encouraged to do as women. And it is important that we have an all-female movie. Our girls need it. Our boys need it. We need it!”

On food: “When I was younger, I was more strict. I felt I needed to control that part of my life in order to feel I was going to be successful at something – because we often equate success with our physical beauty. It’s so f-cked up!”

On keeping physically and mentally fit in her career and personal life as a mom of 3: “I like feeling that I’m giving myself – my body, my spirit, my mind – the attention it needs.”

Mila, who worked with Zoe in the 2007 movie After Sex, spoke at the event to honor her pal.

“I admire you as a person, a wife, a sister, a mother, a businesswoman and an actress. While the world knows you for the characters you have played, I have the privilege of knowing the working mom behind-the-scenes,” Mila said during the speech.

Zoe Saldana is joined by her beautiful family while receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Thursday (May 3) in Hollywood.

The 39-year-old actress made a rare appearance with her three sons – three-year-old twins Bowie and Cy and one-year-old Zen – and husband Marco Perego.

Zoe thanked her hubby and their boys during her acceptance speech.

“You are my everything. Every day you remind me to appreciate life’s journey. You keep me grounded. And you help me slow down when I need to take in a moment. You keep yearning to continue making art. You’re that voice in my heart that keeps telling me mend your life, love what you do and do what you love. So thank you, I’m taking this moment in,” she said. “But you know what makes me most excited when I wake up? The three masterpieces that we have created: Zen, Cy, and Bowie. Mama te quiere, I love you.”

FYI: Zoe is wearing Jared Lehr jewelry.
